Danger of Doubting Vision Boards

By Steve Siebold

created my first vision board in 1977, when I was 12 years old. I didn’t call it a vision board, I just scotch taped pictures of everything I ever wanted all over my room. To me, it made sense for me to surround myself with everything I wanted to be, do and have. My dad, who was born in 1926 and experienced the Great Depression as a child, was very pragmatic. He didn’t share my enthusiasm for the vision boards. He thought it was silly, until the pictures started appearing in real life. In this clip. If you have someone important

The Exquisite Simplicity of Personal Development

By Steve Siebold

As a an author/speaker in the personal development space for 30+ years, it frustrates me to see industry experts attempting to make the principles of success, complicated. They are not. As a matter of fact, most personal development books, including all 12 of mine, are written at an 8th grade level. This is not an accident, it’s because thats the level at which the average person reads. It’s also because personal development is uncomplicated. In this clip, I explain. #personaldevelopment

Teaching Kids How to Lose

By Steve Siebold

Learning how to lose graciously ranks among the most underrated life lessons parents can teach their children. This often begins in junior sports, where well-meaning yet emotionally immature parents get over involved and sometimes display bad behavior in front of their children. How children behave when they win or lose far outweighs any trophies they may or may not receive. In this clip, I discuss. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness

Why the Masses Despise Critical Thinking

By Steve Siebold

How does Santa Claus get to all of those houses in one night? As a child, did that question ever cross your mind? Most likely, it did. This is an example of our early attempts to employ critical thinking in our lives. As we mature and become more cognitively proficient, we’re easily able to answer questions of this nature. The problem is sometimes we don’t like the answers, so we purposely avoid the proof, data and evidence that comprise the building blocks of critical thinking. In this clip, I explore why this occurs. #personaldevelopment #criticalthinking

The Disease of Middle-Class Consciousness

By Steve Siebold

Any philosopher, of which I clearly am not, will tell you that there are thousands of levels of conscious awareness. Fair enough, but as it relates to performance, we look at the top 5. Squarely in the middle rests the average person operating under middle-class consciousness. Once you understand this limited level of thinking, it’s easy to understand why the masses struggle to succeed. As judgmental as it sounds, there’s substantial data that support it. #personaldevelopment

How Entrepreneur’s Get So Mentally Tough

By Steve Siebold

Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. When employees decide to make the leap to being their own boss, they quickly find themselves in a psychological/emotional war zone where they’re being rejected and criticized 95% of the time. Only a small percentage of people are emotionally equipped to survive in this environment. In this clip, I explain how the survivors get so mentally tough. #personaldevelopment
